About Mogadishu
Mogadishu is Somalia's main port and handles the majority of the country's container imports, serving the capital and the south. Services are thinner than the geography suggests and most cargo transships at a Gulf or East African hub rather than arriving direct. Confirm the routing and the current service position before planning around a date.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Mogadishu — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 22–28 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Somalia lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
